Lately I've had bit of trouble getting a lot of merit because maybe my posting habits. I'm not merit source, but my desire to help local board users earn enough merit to rank up is still what I've been trying to do so far.

I have a few regular posts that I update once a month about my local board stats, so if you think this post deserve some use from you, please review them. But I hope this is not begging, and this is purely because of my desire to contribute to my local users who still need support to rank up.

Please note, all posts may have received a certain amount of merit. But if you think this is really not worth it, then you can ignore me.

We've probably got our wires crossed somewhere, because I can't reconcile you agreeing with post #2 (in that thread) with you taking issue with my post (which is just a high-effort restatement of the same idea: that you shouldn't expect the shadow to get bigger).

I think we're taking different views on the question. I like your framing of the problem in terms of heat transfer, but my post was only concerned with (idealized) shadow length. I think it's one of those occasions where you're concerned with what the OP was really asking, whereas I'm concerned with what the OP was actually asking.

My post started with a snip from the OP that amounts to (paraphrasing): "If I lift a 10 ft by 10 ft tarp, 10 ft into the air (at noon) how big would the shadow be?". And the rest of that post is basically justification for my answer: ~10.0000000002 ft (squared).

Viewed through that lens, I think it's sensible to ignore the size of the sun, because it plays no significant role in understanding why the shadow size increases by such a small amount (in fact, it's likely to confuse the issue, with edge softening that makes gauging "size" more difficult).

The fact that light arriving from more than one position "eats" into the shadow cast by light arriving from a chosen position doesn't affect the underlying relationship [1] that predicts how shadow size varies with distance (to see why this is true, you can always decompose any light source that is not itself a point source — all realistic lights, then — into a swarm of new point sources, and the size of the individual shadows cast by each of these new lights will be governed by the same relationship).

[1] Which (to be clear) is more general than the one I special-cased for an overhead sun.

Sorry for being off-topic in my own topic. My intention was to post this here, but I failed. Since PowerGlove responded here, I'll reply once more:

That's my point: it's okay to ignore small influences, but this simplification completely changes reality.

OP wanted to reduce heat input. The interesting part is that none of our discussion matters for that: the tarp will absorb a certain amount of sunlight, and that sunlight won't reach earth. It doesn't really matter if it's a sharp shadow or slightly less sunlight on a very large surface, the result is the same: less heat input.

Okay, I see the problem. I thought you found something wrong with the trigonometry.

I specifically excluded "soft shadow effects" from my analysis:


Because soft shadow effects are caused by the size of the sun (i.e. there would be no penumbra if the sun were a point) you can take that exclusion to mean: "Treating the sun as a point". What I actually had in mind with that exclusion was: "Treating the sun as a point and ignoring contributions from other light sources" (i.e. bounce lighting), but the simpler version covers the problem you have.

Does that make sense?

It's a shown-work argument to help the OP (in that thread) understand why their intuition was faulty (that the shadow would get appreciably bigger as the tarp was lifted), and I think it did a pretty good job of quantifying something that had only been alluded to by the other posters (i.e. the sun is so far away that the rays are nearly parallel).

Anyway, thanks for getting back to me, and sorry for the weird derail.

PowerGlove asked me to explain this post, so I'm quoting it here from another topic:
I gave a hint already by saying who I Merited. I'll use this part to explain:
Imagine looking at the sun, and 400,000 km (I don't do "feet") away, right between you and the sun, is a tiny tarp. That doesn't put you in the shadow of the tarp, because the sun (from where you're standing) looks much bigger than the tarp. The light passes the tarp from all sides, so there is no shadow.

This picture explains it:

If the tarp is low, the "total eclipse" is what we know as a shadow. If the tarp is high, there's only a "partial eclipse", and if it's high enough, you won't even notice that at all (because if blocks only a tiny fraction of the light, and the "partial eclipse" covers a very large surface area on earth.

Hah! Really? If you can spot a mistake then please PM me about it (or maybe post in that thread) and I'll fix it! Thanks, Loyce.

You'll get used to it My expectations about which posts get Merited often don't match reality.
In this case, because it's in Off-topic, it's not really surprising. That board is mostly used by spammers.

That being said: your post is wrong So I've Merited decodx and odolvlobo.

You know that self-satisfied feeling when you're sure that you've made a good post and are about to be merited for it? Well, sometimes that feeling is lying to you...

Deleted. I'm not going to allow you to use this topic to pump and dump shitcoins.

Exactly. So please remove the quote

If so, please Report to moderator for a ban.

My instant assumption is someone has a bag of shitcoins to hype, especially if it's is first post in a very long time. Not in my topic.

Lol, technical answer and technical improvement category? it's just a random shitcoin and the @OP who create the thread is just copy pasting word by word from this twitter account https://twitter.com/Blueofweb3/status/1584478239610716160

I think you didn't even read what the thread and just reporting that's user because the thread is long, next time read the whole thread first and at least you should know the reason why it's deserved to get merit.

Another thing, why you're not giving your merit to this user?

Having come across this thread, I decided to report these five posts here. I hope to get a review from the OP or any member. Thank you all.
